Abstract

See full text

An analytical instrument includes a contactless memory reader, such as an RF-ID reader. Each person authorized to use the instrument carries a contactless memory, such as an RF-ID tag in an identification (ID) badge. The instrument scans for a contactless memory containing information identifying an authorized user prior to performing an analysis or prior to operating in a predetermined mode, thus preventing unauthorized persons from operating the instrument or from operating the instrument in an unauthorized mode.
